Strava Features Chat

I use Strava to record my walks, using my phone.Ride Auto-Pause is enabledRun Auto-Pause is disabled (as it suggests to enable this only if one runs).When my walk pauses, Strava does not pause recording.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a way around this?I might try enabling the "Run Auto-Pause" feature despite the suggestion.Thank you.

When creating route by GPX file import, discipline type is set automaticly as Run. (earlier was normaly Ride).When changed to Ride route is total changed as route builder want to connect points using existing (known by Strava) roads.Just after GPX upload: Route after changing discipline to Ride:

I have looked  and cannot and find it. It would be great to sincro your dive logs from garmin (or any other brand) or even adding it manualy, adding some fictures such us: Type of Air, gear, water temperature, dive time, bottom time, maximum depth, etc.. (this data can be sincronized from your device to make it easier or manualy filling it)

Hi,My weekly effort in my free version of Strava (on the pc it doesn't work, on the android phone it works fine) doesn't work anymore.For each of my sporttypes the count is zero but i already ran 33 km and made a lot of bike km does???? Is this new???Gr. Patrick

If you join a club, does it synch/show your activities from that point forward, or does it add your activities from the last week and perhaps adjust last week's leader board?

I only use Strava for Kayaking. I can edit any activity to be kayaking. However, my only choice for a default type is running or cycling. Why is this? Why can I not choose from the same list as the activity list? I do not want to have to go and manually every single edit activity after I've done it. Please implement this feature which should be pretty straightforward from a coding perspective. I've also noticed that even though I edit the title of the activity on my Xoss app, this is ignored by Strava and defaults to 'Morning Ride/Run'.

In the Strava app (for iOS, at least), tapping on a photo from the Home Feed or from inside an activity opens a dedicated Photos View that you can scroll through vertically. In that view, every photo shows the time it was taken right below it. The problem is Strava reads the wrong metadata field for this timestamp.I do some quick, light editing on my photos before exporting them to my desktop, then uploading them to Strava. As a result, every photo I take during my hikes gets uploaded with a timestamp around 11 p.m. or midnight on Strava.It looks to me like Strava reads the File Modification Date/Time field, rather than Create Date, or Date/Time Original, or even Modify Date, all three of which are usually identical (and all three of which are available in my exported/uploaded photos). So Strava needs to change the priority of the fields it reads as the timestamp.As far as I can tell, photos upl

Hi, I have a team challenge which starts tomorrow (1st Sept) but I notice the leaderboard presents/refreshes weekly. Firstly, if I want to take a snapshot of week 1 will I have to manually capture each individual activity or is there a way to pull this? Secondly, can't I just add when the challenge is from and to so that its a constant leaderboard rather than changing? 

Is there a way to tap the whole activity and give kudos instead of tapping the tiny little icon? I think many people would benefit from double tapping the whole activity, instead of having to tap the tiny little thumbs up. This is because I often miss it and end up at the map or in the activity instead of giving kudos. Any solutions?

In the goals/progress area, my progress toward a mountain biking goal does not appear to update correctly.   It shows progress based on my miles completed several months ago vs miles completed to date.

The graph of my Tempo when running seems to be different on my phone or on the computer.I put them in Excel with WebPlotDigitizer and they are somewhat similar, bot not really. How can this be?      

I am from Pune - India running, cycling with reasonable distance majorly at weekends. I would like to get information about the diet, workouts to improve stamina and lower down the heart rate. Currently while running it goes up to 170-180. Please suggest. Thanks.

What: A new Strava map type that any user can use, "Support the Voice" or similar nameBlack-Yellow-Red as per the colours of the Aboriginal flag in AustraliaWhy: On 14-Oct Australia votes in a referendum too grant first nations people a 'Voice to Parliament' which will include a change to our constitution to officially recognised 60,000 years of history and culture, compared to as it currently stands, only recognising 200-odd years of colonial ruleThis is a chance for our great nation to take a huge leap for the better of all. But the referendum is at high risk of failing. It needs all of the support and awareness we can musterThank you for listening and for your support

I received a notification "Nice Climb!" the other evening, for 280 feet of climbing, but there was no activity that would/should have generated this. I was sitting on the couch. Really oddly, the logged heart rate is dangerously high for sitting on the couch, average of 128, when my resting heart rate is high 40's. It almost seems like I received a notification that belonged to someone else. Is this a thing?

I'd like to be able to search my cycling activities by one of my named bikes. In other words, I'd like "named bike" to be a search filter.

I would like to increase the volume of the Strava notifications I get while running : for some weird reason, they are sensibly weaker than other notifications/vocal messages I get from other applications (like Garmin for example). I checked the settings, it doesn't look like there is any place I can increase those. I tried a few other apps (Adidas Running, Runmaster, etc., ) and they all are about the same volume, except Strava. The music is dimmed the same way like for the others, but the volume is about the same as the music, so it's difficult to understand the messages (like when a segment is started). Any way to improve that ?

I have a suggestion that I believe could enhance the user experience on Strava by allowing us to categorize routes. The idea is to introduce a feature that enables users to group their routes into customizable categories, such as "Texas," "Mountain Trails," "City Scapes," or any other personalized category name. This feature would provide several benefits:Enhanced Organization: Users could easily find and access specific routes based on their interests or locations, making it simpler to plan their activities.Efficient Navigation: Categorizing routes would make navigation through personal collections more efficient, especially for users with a large number of saved routes.Community Engagement: The ability to share categorized routes with friends or within a group could foster a sense of community and promote route exploration.I believe that implementing this feature coul

You misue the metric system and I want you to correct your user interface language. Example Check out this post on Strava from The Strava Club. https://strava.app.link/pMyMogGuKCb In above:k = 1000, m = metre. Don't break the metric system. You should write 1 km, 5 km, 20 km. Lower case k is not short for kilometre.

I’m a little confused. I am a longtime Strava paid subscriber but I don’t use community resources much. I recently started riding the VeloDrome in my town. On road rides I use both apple watch and wahoo element to track activity. What’s the best way to record inside a covered VeloDrom. It’s under an inflated dome.

Good morning from Yorkshire, England !  I love to Road cycle, club & solo to explore, enjoy fresh air and company. I cycle between 60-100 miles per week, whatever the weather (almost!). I also walk around London a lot as it’s quick and you get to observe a lot more. i look forward to learning from the group. Thanks !

Hey I posted my run and it didn’t show up on my page. I really need that run is there anyway that you could get it to show back up? Thank you! 

Hi,I work for a charity, and we are running a challenge in September. I have set up a club and expect to have approx 100 people. As this runs from 1-30 September, is there any way to calculate the distance travelled by everyone in the club over this time? I see the leaderboard runs weekly, but is there any platform, upgrade or addon that would allow me to automatically track the group for a month, rather than doing this manually weekly? Thanks, Diane

I am over 75 but in Strava the oldest age group is 75 and over which includes folk who have not put in their DoB. Strava defaults this to 1900 so they become over 75.

Hello Ive been a Strava user for a number of years, and have always used the average pace function - my average pace across total distance run - to track my runs i seem to have automatically been given a preview subscription and now, when I run, I can only see average split pace per km rather than average pace across total distance  please can somebody tell me how I can go back to seeing the previous stat whilst running  thanks alex
